Police arrested a man Monday after they say he set multiple fires inside his family’s apartment.

Tevin Battle, 25, of the 3100 block of Hamilton Church Road, Antioch, was charged with aggravated arson in connection with a fire at the residence.

Metro police report that Battle started five fires inside the apartment. Battle’s mother told investigators she found Battle “in the kitchen with something in his hands on fire,” according to a news release from the Nashville Fire Department.

Battle then pushed his mother out of the door and locked it, authorities say.

After the fire started, Battle fled the apartment. Police arrested him later not far from the residence, and he admitted to setting the fires, they said.

No injuries were reported, and firefighters were able to contain the fire to the family’s unit.
